Hands-free Answerback

Description
A PT user with a speakerphone can talk to a caller without lifting the handset. If the user receives a call while
in Hands-free Answerback mode, a hands-free conversation is established using one of the following
methods:
Type
Intercom Call
Trunk Call
Conditions
• Hands-free Answerback applies to:
Intercom calls and trunk calls, including calls directed to an incoming call distribution group in UCD or
Priority Hunting distribution method. (→ 1.2.2.2 Group Call Distribution)
• Hands-free Answerback for Trunk Calls
System programming is required to use this feature.
• Hands-free Answerback for Calls From an Extension That Placed a Trunk Call on Consultation
Hold
Calls from an extension that placed a trunk call on Consultation Hold can be treated by this feature as
either intercom calls or trunk calls, depending on system programming. If treated as intercom calls, the
call will be established immediately.
When transferring a call from an analogue trunk, users are strongly recommended to perform a
screened transfer, so that the outside caller is not automatically connected to an extension using
Hands-free Answerback when the extension user is absent.
• Secret Monitor
The beep tone that the called party hears before answering can be eliminated through system
programming.
• Alternate Receiving/Calling Mode (Ring/Voice) Override
Hands-free Answerback overrides the Alternate Receiving mode preset on the telephone and the
Alternate Calling mode from the caller.
• Hands-free Answerback with Headset
The Hands-free Answerback feature can also be used with a headset.
